BRADFORD City have a mountain to climb in their relegation battle after two disappointing losses in a row.

The Bantams sit at the foot of the table, seven points adrift from safety.

With only seven games left to go, is the writing on the wall?

City will face a trip to promotion-challengers Charlton on Saturday where surely only a win will suffice to grip onto any lingering hope.

The boys will need all the support they can get to will them on and, if you're visiting the capital for the game, we've got you covered.

From travel times and routes, to the best boozers - this guide will give you everything you need...

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

GROUND

Venue: The Valley

Capacity: 27,111

Address: The Valley, Floyd Road, Charlton, SE7 8BL

TICKETS

Any tickets that weren’t collected before 4pm on Thursday can be redeemed at The Valley on matchday.

Away supporters are situated in the Jimmy Seed South Stand (behind one of the goals).

Up to around 3,000 fans can fit into the stand and it is slightly raised above pitch level which generally makes for a good view.

One source did mention though that there's a supporting column just behind the goal, smack bang in the middle which can obstruct your vision.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

TRAVEL

The main concern for the big day is how to get there, how long it will take to get there, and where on earth you’re going to park.

Train:

Another away-day, another trip down South for Bantams fans. This is the third away match in a row where City supporters have had to travel to the bottom of the country.

As usual, there are a few options once you're down in London, but we'll direct you along the easiest route.

You'll want to get to Leeds Railway Station to take a train down to London King's Cross Station.

Once there take the short walk to London St. Pancras International (next door to King's Cross).

You'll want to take the Thameslink train to Charlton Railway Station (the Rainham Kt) - it's a 32-minute journey and nine stops.

From the station, it's roughly a six-minute walk to the ground.

Head out from the station and turn right onto Charlton Church Lane, then left onto Floyd Road and turn right onto Valley Road.

Then it's your next left and you'll see the ground on your right.

By car:

This journey is quoted as taking between three hours and 30 minutes and four hours and 40 minutes depending on traffic.

You can use either the M1 or the old-school A1.

We reckon the former is your best option.

You'll want to get onto the M1 towards London/Wakefield, where the majority of the journey will be spent.

After 166 miles, at junction 6A, use the left three lanes to take the M25 exit to M11/Dartford.

Merge onto the M25 and follow it for 22.8 miles, before merging onto the M11 at junction 27.

At junction 4, use any lane to take the A406 (S) exit to A12/A13/N Circular.

After merging onto N Circular Road (A406) use the left two lanes to take the A12 slip road to Central London/Stratford/Chelmsford/Romford.

At Redbridge Roundabout immediately after take the fifth exit onto Eastern Avenue/A12 and follow this for seven miles.

Keep right to continue on Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach/A102 then after 2.1 miles take the exit towards A206/Woolwich Road.

At the roundabout take the fourth exit to come back on yourself, before heading into the left lane to turn left onto Charlton Church Lane.

Finally, turn left onto Floyd Road and then it's right onto Ransom Road and another right where you'll see the ground.

Be careful though as Ransom Road and the final road are restricted-usage roads.

PARKING

Unfortunately, stadium parking at The Valley is for permit holders only.

Parking in and around the ground is limited due to a local residents parking scheme, but there may be better chance up the main A206/Woolwich Road.

There is Stone Lake Retail Park, just off Woolwich Road, but this is not guaranteed and may have its own terms and conditions.

The next nearest option is the Charlton Village Car Park, which is a 14-minute walk south of the ground.

It is free, but it only has 34 parking bays.

PUBS

The Antigallican and Rose of Denmark were previously number one spots for visiting fans, but with the former shutting down and the latter said to no longer be admitting away supporters (according to one source) here's some other options.

Angerstein Hotel: Bit of a walk (19 minutes from the ground), but the pub is said to welcome away fans and has televised sport. If you're thinking of staying down in London too, this place has accommodation.

Anchor & Hope: One for those who prefer a more picturesque setting, this pub is situated on the Thames and offers tables outside so you can look out across the river. On the smaller side, but only a 16-minute walk from The Valley.

The Royal Oak: The closest option to the ground (only five minutes away) and it also has outdoor seating, in case it's a glorious day.

The White Swan: This one, unlike the rest, is south of the ground, but boasts a 4.3 star rating from 200 reviews. A 14-minute walk about, and there's The Bugle Horn down the road, if you need another option.

TEASER

As part of each guide we will put to you a trivia poser about the side City will face, or their ground.

Q. Which ex-Charlton legend was sacked by the club he manages in League One this week?

Last time’s answer: Kemar Roofe.
